Resort Fontes Episcopi

We spent 7 days at this stunning bio resort in the Sicilian countryside, and it was one of the best hotel experiences – and we’ve stayed at our fair share of high-end boutique hotels across Europe.

 This place is an absolute hidden gem — and while I hesitate to share it (for fear of it becoming too popular), it truly deserves the recognition.

 The resort is intimate and beautifully designed, consisting of a main building with seven rooms, four bungalows a short walk from the main building (70 meters), and with a pool in between. We stayed at a bungalow. Everything was spotless. Attention to details, daily cleaning (of the rooms and the entire area) and a clear sense of pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort.

 We travelled as a family (two adults and three children) and from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed as if we were part of the family. The hospitality here is genuine and heartfelt. Every member of the staff radiated warmth, positivity and a sincere desire to make our stay special.

 The location is ideal — a short drive to the charming town of Agrigento with excellent restaurant recommendations from the staff, and many cultural and historical attractions within easy reach. 

 And then there’s the food… Every morning, we had a delicious homemade breakfast, and in the evenings, we had the option to enjoy a four-course dinner — at an very fair price. Everything, including the pasta, was made from scratch by “Nonna” (Grandmother) in the kitchen. This woman is a culinary treasure. 
In short: luxurious yet down-to-earth, elegant yet homey. A place with soul, heart, and top-tier quality in every detail.

 We will be back.

This was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. The accomodation is outstanding and the hospitality is wonderful. We did the lunch cooking class and it was welcoming, fun and full of ideas we can try at home. We didn’t leave the property for our entire 3 nights as we wanted to embrace the time we had there.

This is a lovely retreat with wonderful Sicilian hospitality. We stayed in a bungalow with a private courtyard, which we would thoroughly recommend. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfast is good & the evening meals reflected tasty home cooked Sicilan food. We ate there for the 3 nights of our stay because we so enjoyed what 'nonna' chose to produce for the set 4 course meal each evening. After visiting the Valley of the Temples, it was lovely to retire here & laze by the swimming pool.

This property was beautiful, the owner and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the accommodation very comfortable. The food was beautifully prepared and the location great for visiting the valley of the temples. All in all we would highly recommend a visit. And their own olive oil….. well let you decide!

We had an incredible stay at Fontes Episcopi which completely fulfilled their pledge to "make every guest feel at home". Every member of staff introduces themselves by name and remembers yours. The property is immaculate throughout with gorgeous spacious rooms, lovely comfortable public areas, a fabulous pool, beautiful gardens and quirky decor. It feels like staying in a gorgeous private home. Cooking alongside chef is not not be missed - an incredible experience. Special shout out to Michele who shipped my forgotten iPad back to the UK and to Sara for the incredible wine recommendations and tasting at a nearby vineyard. A wonderful place to stay when visiting Agrigento. We will definitely be back
